Amazfit Launches Cheetah 2 Pro, a $449 Marathon Watch Rival to Garmin

Priced at $449, it targets Garmin’s elite runners by bundling pro training tools with long battery claims.

Overview

  • Amazfit released the Cheetah 2 Pro in the US for $449.99, with orders open on the company’s site and through select retailers.
  • The watch uses a 1.32-inch AMOLED display rated up to 3,000 nits, a Grade 5 titanium case, and sapphire glass to boost durability while keeping weight down.
  • For training, it offers dual-band GPS with multi-satellite support, advanced running metrics like VO2 Max and lactate threshold, Zepp Coach plans, and links to Strava, TrainingPeaks, Runna, and Google Fit.
  • Navigation features include 32GB of storage for offline maps, turn-by-turn directions on planned routes, and automatic re-routing if a runner strays off course.
  • Battery life is claimed at up to 20 days in smartwatch mode and up to 31 hours with full GPS, though reviewers note trade-offs such as a 5 ATM rating, no ECG or native Spotify, and the need for real-world testing to confirm reliability.
